Athos; St. Gerontii, Canonarch of the Pecherska Lavra; and St. Maxim Grek are a few I thought of.

St Philip Neri, inventor of the Oratorio! St Yared, the founder of Ethiopian Church singing. St Nerses (Shnorhali) IV the Gracious, Catholicos of Armenia, writer of Armenian hymns. I've also got a little icon of John of Lepizig. Yes, Johannes Sebastianus Bach
